When to Schedule an AC Inspection

An air conditioning inspection is a valuable diagnostic tool that serves many purposes beyond a simple repair call. It's a proactive step that provides crucial information about your system's performance and condition, giving you the power to make smart decisions for your home.

Consider scheduling a professional AC inspection if you are:

• Buying a New Home: A standard home inspection can be brief. A dedicated HVAC inspection provides a detailed assessment of the system's age, condition, and potential lifespan, protecting you from buying a home with a failing AC.
• Experiencing High Energy Bills: If your utility costs are climbing, an inspection can determine if an inefficient or poorly performing AC system is the culprit, identifying issues that are wasting energy.
• Noticing Poor Cooling Performance: If your home has hot spots, feels humid, or the AC runs constantly without cooling effectively, an inspection can diagnose the root cause of the problem.
• Preparing for Summer: Scheduling an inspection in the spring ensures your air conditioner is ready to handle the demands of a long, hot Florida summer, helping you avoid a breakdown when you need it most.
• Seeking a Second Opinion: If another company has recommended a major, expensive repair or a full system replacement, an honest second opinion from our team can verify the diagnosis or offer a more cost-effective solution.

An inspection is the best way to get a clear, unbiased understanding of your most important home appliance.

What Our Comprehensive AC Inspection Includes

When you schedule an air conditioning inspection with Arctic Air Home Services, you can expect a detailed and thorough evaluation of your entire cooling system. Our goal is to provide you with a complete report card on your AC's health, identifying any areas of concern from safety to efficiency.

Our knowledgeable technician will meticulously check all critical components:

• Thermostat and Controls: We verify that your thermostat is properly calibrated and communicating correctly with the AC system to ensure accurate temperature control.
• Electrical Components: We inspect capacitors, contactors, and all wiring for signs of wear and tear, ensuring connections are tight and safe to prevent electrical failures.
• Refrigerant Level Assessment: We check to see if the system's refrigerant charge appears adequate. Incorrect levels are a primary cause of poor cooling and inefficiency.
• Condensate System: We examine the condensate drain line to check for potential clogs or blockages that could lead to water leaks and property damage.
• Airflow and Ductwork: We assess the system's airflow and perform a visual inspection of accessible ductwork for leaks, blockages, or other issues that restrict performance.
• Outdoor and Indoor Units: We inspect the physical condition of the coils, fans, and motors on both the indoor and outdoor units, looking for signs of corrosion or damage.
• Overall System Health Report: Upon completion, our technician will provide you with a full summary of their findings and offer clear, honest recommendations for any needed maintenance or repairs.

This comprehensive check gives you a 360-degree view of your system's condition.

Inspection vs. Tune-Up: Understanding the Difference

While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, an "inspection" and a "tune-up" are two distinct services with different goals. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right service for your needs. An inspection is primarily a diagnostic service, while a tune-up is a preventative maintenance service.

An inspection is designed to assess the overall condition of your system and identify any existing or potential problems. A technician evaluates all components and provides you with a detailed report of their findings, like a doctor giving you a physical. It is the perfect choice when buying a home or troubleshooting an issue.

A tune-up, or maintenance, goes a step further. It includes the evaluative aspects of an inspection but also involves actively cleaning components like coils, clearing drain lines, and making minor calibrations to improve performance and efficiency. An inspection often leads to recommending a tune-up if the system is found to be dirty or out of calibration.
